Technical Details

Previously, this bridge had to be created as a custom bridge. The following information relates to PreXion bridges that were custom created in Open Dental.

The command line arguments should be similar to this:

-l username -p password -pid [PatNum] servername 1200

-l username -p password -pid [ChartNumber] servername 1200

Servername is the name of the PreXion server. 1200 refers to the port.
